Another that is working from home but is currently ill with flue-like symptoms.

Issue is that this is very easy to transfer and survives quite a while even in people with zero symptoms.  

In consideration of the extenuating circumstances COVID-19 presents, we will waive our remote closing fee for the foreseeable future.Finally, if you are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, have been in contact with someone who may have COVID-19, suspect that you may have COVID-19, or have been diagnosed as positive for COVID-19, please notify us immediately and do not come to our offices.

Shutting down whole cities should help but if there's a two week period before people experience symptoms then we really shouldn't expect to see any decline, if any, for at least another week...

Remember, this virus can be transmitted by people who don’t show any symptoms and is persistent for days on some surfaces.

I think this event will make people more responsible (savings/rainy day funds will be taken seriously) and healthier (people will actually wash their hands and stay away from people who show symptoms of a cold or flu). 

This viewpoint is a symptom of the underlying inequality of classes in America--property owners are assumed to be able avoid "feeling the pain" in times like this because, well, they are property owners.

My response is fair in that regard.My point is, paying for legal and tax entity planning gets you a far different answer than general, high-level nonchalant "water cooler" advice.A doctor may diagnose something vastly different after running tests and scans than he/she initially did just talking to you and hearing your symptoms. 

And the majority of our country seems to support this kind of behavior.I'm not insensitive to the fact people are laid off, some are sick, some have relatives that are sick, some just finished a bout of chemo and didn't get the chance to catch their breath before this thing hit, some just lost a husband, some just lost a limb to diabetes and can't get back to work, some just ran away from an abusive or drug-addicted spouse, etc.

Surprisingly, many don't realize that with exception of an elevated body temperature, carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms mimic and as such are often misdiagnosed for the flu.
